## Summary

The procurement process concerns the UKMFTS and FWMAS CAAi Oversight Contract, which involves the Ministry of Defence as the buying organisation. This five-year contract (01/09/2021 - 31/08/2026) is classified under services in the category of "Test and evaluation of military aircrafts, missiles and spacecrafts". The contract is located in Crawley, West Sussex, and was concluded on 19th July 2021. The procurement was conducted through a limited method, specifically a negotiated procedure without prior publication, due to technical constraints requiring the service to be provided exclusively by CAA International Limited.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialised in aviation oversight and compliance, particularly those with expertise in military training systems. Companies with capabilities in safety evaluations, technical assessments, and related service offerings in the aviation sector would be well-suited to compete for potential subcontracting opportunities associated with this contract. By engaging with the awarded supplier, there may be avenues for collaboration and partnership, enabling business growth in a competitive market.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority Oversight of all United Kingdom Military Flying Training System and FWMAS aircraft platform types to deliver a rolling Aircraft Continuing Airworthiness Monitoring (ACAM) programme for a 5 year period from 1st September 2021 through to 31st August 2026.

### Procurement Information

It is considered that the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service (in accordance with Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015) is lawful due to technical reasons because the CAA International Limited are the mandated and only service provider of this service. as referred above and attached and so I am proposing single source procurement through Standard Contracting Template 2 direct to CAAi. This will be under the Negotiated Procedure without prior publication (in accordance with Article 32 of Directive 2014/24/EU) due to Technical Reasons (no other organisation can provide this requirement)."
